Hackers Wanted


Hackers Wanted is an unreleased American documentary film directed and written by Sam Bozzo which explores the origins and nature of hacking. It follows the story of Adrian Lamo and contrasts it with that of controversial figures throughout history. The film is narrated by Kevin Spacey.

According to Wikipedia the film was originally named "Can You Hack It?" but it failed to get a conventional release because of alleged conflicts between its producer and others on the team until eventually a version of it was leaked online.

Adrian Lamo has stated that he had no involvement in the leak but noted that:

"It's ironic that a film about overcoming barriers, about new technologies, about thinking differently, had to come to the public eye by being hacked out of the hands of people who, after making a film about the free flow of information, tried to lock away that information forever. The truth tends to itself."

According to some, the latest version of the movie contains additional footage and is significantly different from the one leaked online but, again, on June 12, 2010, a director's cut version was also leaked online.
